Yes. <cut>
Beyond that you are into serious hacking. Depending on how it talks to the card you might be able to use Qemu to emulate an x86 enough or you might be able to work out enough (run under x86 and strace?) to hack together a quick replacement. If all else fails you could reverse engineer the control app and re-implement - I'd strongly recommend looking at Boomerang ( http://boomerang.sf.net/ ) if you choose this route; but I'm guessing this is several orders of magnitude more effort than you wanted to go to.
Good guess! I sent two e-mails to adaptec...not that i expect a cheerful reply... At the moment it runs, the disk are new, so they should last a couple of weeks, until i have time again :-/ cheers, pol :)
